Nope nothing- I merged the two threads together...now it is just a waiting and praying game.

I'm under the impression that you have to give birth within 24 hours of your water breaking. I don't know why, I probably heard it on tv or something. (And therefore it must be true, right?

There is a time after which the risk of infection goes up, so they prefer/try to have someone deliver within 24 hours after rupture of membranes. It's not hard and fast though,in that if all is stable (and there are indicators with fetal heart rate, and mom's temp, that let you know if infection may be setting in) and good progress is being made, you don't just go straight to a c/section after 24 hours.

If I had nails, I'd be chewing them...hoping next time I stop by here, there will be a happy delivery note.

Ok I just got word. The baby is in the world! A little boy! Anne was unable to do normal birth as the umbilical cord got wrapped around Dan's neck and he couldn't advance down the birth canal so they took him c-section. He is 7 pounds (I think) I got the measurements in kg 3.77kg

Anne and the baby are fine and she thanks all of you for your positive energy and prayers that were sent. They named him Dan, mom and baby are resting. I do not know what time he was born.
